Such was the view of William Coady, attendant to the insane in the British settler colony of Victoria, Australia in the 1870's. This book is a history of William Coady?s occupation, a history asylum work and workers in nineteenth-century Australia. It considers not only who attendants were and why they worked in the asylum, but also how they and others variously defined the very good attendant. Colonial asylum advocates imagined the attendant as an archetype, drawing on ideas from Britain about the nature of insanity and its treatment. In exploring the articulation of these ideas in a specific colonial context and their effect on the colonial asylum workplace, Lee-Ann Monk makes an important contribution to the international history of the asylum. She also opens new dimensions in the history of this occupation, on which the fate of patients very much depended, by analysing attendants? efforts to construct an occupational identity and give meaning to their work, thus providing new insights into their sense of themselves and their occupation. 410 0$aClio medica (Amsterdam, Netherlands) ;$v84. 410 0$aWellcome series in the history of medicine. 606 $aPsychiatric aides$zAustralia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPsychiatric hospital care$zAustralia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aPsychiatric hospitals$zAustralia$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aAustralia$xSocial conditions$y19th century 615 0$aPsychiatric aides$xHistory 615 0$aPsychiatric hospital care$xHistory 615 0$aPsychiatric hospitals$xHistory 676 $a362.21 700 $aMonk$b Lee-Ann$01489328 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782379503321 996 $aAttending madness$93710005 997 $aUNINA
